I have two questions related to the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Act and advance healthcare directives, AHDs. In terms of the new Act that went through the Seanad last week, how does it affect people detained in the CMH? Has the Act improved their basic human rights? I am interested in hearing what Professor Flynn thinks about the matter.
